To be honest, if the cast of Rise of Skywalker had sung ABBA songs it may have helped rescue the mess they made of the movie.

Ohhh, itās suddenly become a marmite movie, best of the last 3 TBF and way better than the Episodes I-III

Itās a fucking disaster Bob.
Basic plot logic. Killing off the last of the characters from the first movies, while simultaneously diminishing their achievements.
All to get to a point that the UK Deed Poll Service would have done with a lot less fuss.

I quite enjoyed itā¦ and liked the conclusion of the story arcsā¦ just missed all the Jedi ghost things appearing at the endā¦ Oh and Jar-Jar Binks and having hours of fun laughing at his speech impediment ā¦
Thatās fine. Youāre allowed to.
For me, the only decent film outside of those made in the 1970s/80s is Rogue One.

Like I said originally, I would rate RoS as my 3rd favourite Star Wars movie, despite itās flaws. Many rate Empire Strikes Back as the best but, for me, Return of the Jedi was the better of the original sequels.
Canāt disagree with you about Rogue One either, a fine fine film.
Less said about Solo the betterā¦

I have to say I enjoyed Solo. The wife has only seen a few so weāre going through them now, in chronological order, including every film that got a theatrical release.
So far, weāve done episodes 1 and 2, and then the clone wars film. Sheās losing patience quickly.
The Clone Wars animation (speaking more about the series than the film) is probably the best Star Wars on offer from that time.
Which is a shame really, as it really should have been the films Lucas was making.
Episode I and II are both fucking terrible. After those, III seems like an uplifting affair where annoying wuss Anakin is finally killed by Vader.
Which is another reason The Clone Wars animations are so good. I think it might be the only sympathetic depiction of Anakin going.

The casting for anakin as a kid and as an āadultā were dreadful. The kid version was just fucking annoying and Hayden Christensen had the acting ability of a fredo frog. That combined with absolutely dreadful dialogue completely ruined it.
He was just an embarrassingly stroppy teenager who got told he couldnāt yet be an adult so then became a serial killer in petulance.

I remain in Marcus Brigstockeās clichĆ©d minority that has never seen Star Wars.
Iāve also never seen Kubrickās 2010, but that omission will shortly be addressed.
Hey! Whoa!
How about some spoiler warnings on this thread for those of us who have only ever watched Star Wars and, what was the second (5th) one called? Battlestar Galactica? Oh, I donāt know. But I plan to, maybe, watch these some day (I donāt) so I donāt want the journey spoiled.
Youāre so right. I apologise. I remember when you told me that after watching Ghost for the 19th time you realised Patrick Swayze was in fact the ghost in it and you told me. Any intent I had to watch it died in that moment.
Itās a great film and one of the main reasons I boughtal a potterās wheelā¦
